Deep-Ocean Mining Technology III: Developments

The review is an update from the review presented at the OMS-2005 (Chung, 2005). It includes discussions on the technical issues that have been already identified in the literature for manganese nodule production system design and on initial stages of crust mining concepts. It appears no new additional issues have yet been identified and solved. Recent discovery of the buried nodules would nece...

Early Developments in Polarized Neutron Technology

Early developments in the production and use of polarized beams of slow neutrons were coupled closely with improvements in the understanding of the magnetic scattering process and with the establishment of magnetic structures by neutron scattering. These aspects will be summarized in the present review.

Recent developments in protein microarray technology.

The sequencing of the human genome and the advent of DNA chips and sophisticated bioinformatics platforms have enabled molecular biologists to take a more global view of biological systems and to analyze naturally occurring genetic variation. Microarrays of antibodies can measure the concentrations of many proteins quickly and simultaneously. Microarrays of genomically encoded proteins allow sc...

Overview of technology developments in probiotic field

Probiotics are ‘live microorganisms which, when administrated in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host’ (FAO/WHO, 2001). This requirement, i.e. that the probiotic bacteria must be in viable form at the time of consumption, poses a number of technical challenges from food processing perspectives. Environmental stresses encountered during food processing include acid exposure duri...
